I went to our new Museum of Eureka Springs Art to do a repair on the desk we brought in a few days ago, and found another piece of my earlier work had been delivered to the museum needing repair. This piece is a music stand I made for Crescent Dragonwagon to give to her 6 ft. 5 in. amateur violinist, Ned Shank. After his death, it ended up with John Mitchell, a well known art and antiques dealer in Eureka Springs.
The back leg was broken, so is now being glued back in place, making use of the original mortise and tenon joint.
Back in its day Ned had it ornamented with crystals hanging from the upper ribs. The music stand will soon be ready to stand once again on its three legs.
Make, fix and create...
